Wife Swapping, a Hit Man, and a Dream | This Small-Town Kansas Murder Made Everyone a Suspect!

Wife Swapping, a Hit Man, and a Dream | This Small-Town Kansas Murder Made Everyone a Suspect!

In a quiet Kansas town in 1912, a well-liked postmaster was shot through his own kitchen door in cold blood — and the investigation that followed would drag his widow, his mail carrier, his best friend, and half the town through a tangle of affairs, threats, and accusations that raised more questions than it ever answered. *No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast* PARANORMAL PUNK SONG BASED ON THIS EPISODE: https://weirddarkness.com/song-electricgirl IN THIS EPISODE: When you think of bleak, mysterious murders with a Gothic hue, a small town in early 20th century Kansas is not the first thing that springs to mind. Neither is a postmaster, for that matter. Well, think again. *** Not everything creepy that happens to someone can be classified as paranormal or otherworldly. In fact, a majority of the things that give us goosebumps and set our hair up straight are totally explainable… but that doesn’t mean they aren’t terrifying. We’ll look at some true stories from people who had some creepy experiences that while scary, were not of supernatural origin. *** One girl seemed to be able to move things with the power of her mind. Another girl seemed to have the strength of a dozen men. Were they charlatans, mere entertainers, or were their powers derived from something supernatural? *** AND MORE!

Ohio's Real-Life Werewolf: Actual Dogman Encounters | Multiple Sightings, One Terrifying Conclusion!

Ohio's Real-Life Werewolf: Actual Dogman Encounters | Multiple Sightings, One Terrifying Conclusion!

Deep in the woods surrounding Ohio's Silver Creek Metro Park, multiple witnesses have come face to face with something massive, bipedal, and terrifyingly fast — and whatever it is, it isn't Bigfoot. *No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast* PARANORMAL PUNK SONG BASED ON THIS EPISODE: https://weirddarkness.com/music-dogmanofsilvercreek IN THIS EPISODE: Ohio has its own strange creature roaming the forests… they call it the Dogman. And one man tells of his encounter with it. Ohio’s Silver Creek Dogman – what many consider to be a real life werewolf. *** A strange encounter in a diner turns terrifying when and old man appears to have black eyes. *** The feeling of being watched and cold spots in the home bring fear to a family in Oklahoma. *** Both a father and a son experience what can only be described as demonic oppression. *** A woman in Utah finds a stranger in her room… directly above her bed. *** Author G. Michael Vasey takes us to a haunted church in the Czech Republic village of Lukova. *** A strange figure appears in a photo – but wasn’t there when the picture was being taken. *** The first recorded ghost in the United States was reported in Sullivan, Maine, in 1799. And her name, was Nelly Cooper. *** Built in 1839, Highgate Cemetery, in Highgate, London, is now said to be one of the most actively haunted cemeteries in the UK. There were even newspaper stories that there was a vampire at large in there - the so-called "Highgate Vampire". *** When a woman died, leaving no heirs and no will. A couple were brought in to clear out the property after the estate had been settled. When it came time to clear out the deceased woman’s shed, what they found was more than disturbing… it was horrifying. *** A neighborhood in old Louisville, Kentucky had a large tree that stood in the center of the court – and served at one time as a hanging tree for various lynchings in the 1800s. The hangings may have stopped – but the darkness surrounding it, hasn’t.

Beasts On The Military Battlefield | Cryptid Encounters in the Chaos of Wartime Violence

In the chaos of war, soldiers have faced not only human adversaries, but terrifying encounters with cryptids and mysterious entities on the front lines. *No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast* IN THIS EPISODE: War brings out the worst in men – and sometimes it brings it out the monsters as well. (Monsters and the Military) *** Haunting the corridors of the Preston School of Industry are dark tales of mystery and murder. (Preston Castle: The Haunted Reform School) *** A tall, thin, frightening stranger appears to a group of children who soon discover it’s best not to scream. (He Moves When We Scream) *** A boy is sent to stay with his aunt—and discovers that her house is haunted. It sounds like a page out of a cliché horror movie, but this time it’s real.
